These young actors have found their way to the heart of this sweetly perceptive play
- The West Australian
When Janice shot Huey's dog, Huey shot through.

Three years later, deluded Huey wants Janice back. Huey’s girlfriend Teresa is none too happy. It’s going to be up to Aldo, Huey’s best friend, to contrive some reconciliation of his own with Janice to save Huey from a love worse than death.

A bittersweet story of love, passion, minestrone and one man's confused attempt to win back his ex-wife in Little Italy, New York City.

with David Gardette, Dan Walls, Amanda Crewes, Lucy Eyre and Catherine Kohlen
